Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Firstly, caesium abd potassium are both in Group 1 of the periodic table. Group 1 metals (also called alkali metals) are the most reactive metals of the periodic table. Caesium is more reactive than Potassium because it has a higher electropositivity than Potassium. Electropositivity is the tendency of a metal to donate electron(s) to form a cation. Electropositivity increases down the group; this is because it is easier for atoms to loose electrons on the outermost shell that are far away from the central nucleus as against atoms whose outermost electrons are closer to the central nucleus. <u>Thus, the more "bulky" an atom is, the farther it's outermost electrons (valence electrons) get from the central nucleus and the easier it is to lose the outermost electron(s). And the easier it is for the valence electron(s) to be removed, the more reactive the atom would be and vice-versa.</u>
Caesium is more reactive than potassium because it is more bulky than potassium, with an atomic number of 55, while potassium has an atomic number of 19.
NOTE: The closer an electron is to the nucleus, the more difficult it is to be removed from it's shell.
(b) i. Formula for Caesium Nitrate:
Symbol for Caesium is Cs and Nitrate is NO₃⁻.
Cs⁺ + NO₃⁻ ↔ CsNO₃
Formula for Caesium Nitrate is CsNO₃
ii. Formula for Caesium sulphate
Symbol for caesium is Cs and Sulphate is SO₄²⁻
Cs⁺ + SO₄²⁻ ↔ Cs₂SO₄
Formula for Caesium sulphate is Cs₂SO₄
NOTE: When writing the formulae, the charges would be exchanged to form the subscript as seen on the product sides above.

Answer:
V₂ = 648.53 mL
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume of gas = 490. mL
Initial temperature = -35°C (-35 + 273 = 238 k)
Final temperature = 42°C = (42+273 = 315 k)
Final volume = ?
Solution:
The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.
According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.
Mathematical expression:
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
V₁ = Initial volume
T₁ = Initial temperature
V₂ = Final volume
T₂ = Final temperature
Now we will put the values in formula.
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁
V₂ = 490 mL × 315 K / 238 k
V₂ = 154350 mL.K / 238 K
V₂ = 648.53 mL
Answer:
According to Coulomb’s law, the Ca and Se ions have 4 times the attractive force (2+ × 2-) than that of the K and Br ions (1+ × 1-).
Explanation:
From Coulomb's law, the attractive force between calcium and selenium ions is four times the attractive force between potassium and bromide ions.
This has something to do with size and magnitude of charge. Calcium ions and selenide ions are smaller and both carry greater charge magnitude than potassium and bromide ions. This paves way for greater electrostatic attraction between them when the distance of the charges apart is minimal. Hence a greater lattice energy.
Answer: 90 grams
0.5 molar of glucose means 0.5mole glucose for 1 liter of water. Since we want to made 1L of solution, then the amount of glucose needed is: 0.5mole/l x 1l= = 0.5mole
Glucose molecular weight is 180, then 0,5 mol of glucose is= 0.5mole x 180 grams/mole= 90 grams.
